Not About Angels
Chapter Two
Amy stared wide-eyed at Kiera. She was certainly not expecting that to come out of her mouth. She was assuming she would say something on the lines of 'I've changed.' But not this. "What?" She asked shocked. Her features twisting in confusion. Kiera stared blankly back at Amy. "I am innocent. I did not kill anybody." Kiera said clearly. Amy took a step back. "But, the new-" Kiera rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Do you always believe what the news gives you?" Amy stayed and remained silent. She recalled the memory of G.U.N covering up one of many Eggman's messes of destruction with an 'earthquake'. It was true what Kiera was saying, she really shouldn't trust whatever is given on the news.
Kiera took a step forward towards Amy. "You know G.U.N lies to all of Mobius day in and day out, and what makes you think they didn't lie about me?" Kiera questioned her. To Amy, every statement Kiera made pushed her towards thinking over everything she has heard from the news. She began to second guess every decision she has made with G.U.N. Kiera made her see things and second guess things she would never cast a glance at. Amy knew all too well that what Kiera was saying was the truth. G.U.N does lie, and lying seemed to be a second nature to that agency. Amy had and began to seriously doubt everything that G.U.N has done and told her.
"I didn't know-" Amy began. Kiera scowled. "Didn't know that G.U.N has been feeding you lies on top of lies? It is in their nature! It is what they do." Amy's eyes widened as she processed everything that Kiera has told her. "You say you didn't kill anyone, why would they lie about this? Why did they set you up and throw you in prison?" Kiera kept her unemotional blank stare at Amy. Kiera didn't trust anyone. It was hard for her to do, and no one gave her a reason to trust again. They only gave her a reason not to.
"Why would they set me up? Why wouldn't they? They have helped you lie to all of the citizens of Mobius more than once, and they have betrayed you and your friends on more than one occasion." Kiera countered. Everything she said was true. Why wouldn't G.U.N do this to her and lie about it with a fake scandal? Amy thought to herself. Amy looked at her more than confused. She had no idea how Kiera knew her friends. "How do you know my friends?" Amy asked her. How much does this woman know? She thought quizzically. "I know a lot of things. I know that your friends Shadow the Hedgehog and Rouge the Bat work for that lying, good for nothing agency. I also happen to know that you're dating Sonic the Hedgehog."
Amy gasped in surprise and shock. "How did you know that?" Kiera breathed out in annoyance, and rolled her eyes once again. "Would you prefer me to tell you how I know about you and your friends or would you like for me to tell you why that lying and blackmailing agency set me up for murder?" Kiera rose an eyebrow at Amy with a smug smirk on her pained features. Amy sighed. "I would like to know both, but I would like to know the second one much more."
"They set me up because they wanted me gone but entirely." Kiera replied. Amy processed this but she needed more information to understand this much clearly. She had her assumptions, and she needed to know if she was correct or not. She began to question Kiera more and more. "If they wanted you dead, you would be?" Kiera nodded, and Amy processed this information once more. She needed to understand this, and why G.U.N wanted her gone and framed her for murder. "But they kept you alive for…information?" Kiera nodded once again, confirming her assumption. She's getting there, Kiera thought. Amy's brows furrowed and she looked back up at Kiera. "You know something. Something that scared them, or something that powered them or something that they needed. What did – or do – you know?" Amy asked her quickly.
To her, Kiera became much more suspicious, intellectual, and mysterious. To Amy, Kiera was shadowy and cryptic. Kiera was a puzzle waiting to be solved. Amy had to solve her.
"You're smarter than you look, a little slow, but smart all the same." Kiera said with a smug smile. "Unfortunately, for you, I cannot tell you." Kiera continued. "Their agents are everywhere." Kiera added. Could she not be so damn mysterious all the time? Amy thought in frustration. She was about to question Kiera once more, she wanted and needed to know what she meant by 'couldn't tell her'. She was going to ask why she couldn't tell her what she knew but was interrupted by the obnoxious ringing of her door bell.
"Hey, hun! It's Rouge and Shadow! Open up! We want to have a chat if that's okay?" Rouge and Shadow? Have a chat? They must be here for…Kiera. Amy thought. She glanced at Kiera. "Typical." Kiera kissed lowly. She looked at Amy. "What are you going to do?" Kiera asked her, it was the ultimate question given to her. Amy stood there frozen and in shock. She had no idea what to do or say. What am I supposed to do? Amy thought frantically.
"Hey, Rose! You in there?" Shadow called out from the other side of her front door beside Rouge.
Amy glanced at her front door where Shadow and Rouge were, and back to Kiera.
"Whose side are you on, Amy? I thought you fought for the good of the world? Not evil. Why are you siding with the villains?" Kiera asked her harshly. What she said was pulling on her heart strings. She was stuck in between two paths. Amy always believed in helping the helpless but somehow ended up being the one that needed help. Now, the table has turned. Kiera is now stood in front of her, in one way or another, asking for help. She needed help, but helping Kiera and choosing that path meant betraying and lying to her friends and the government.
Amy's next choice would change her life from the first second she would make it, but she wasn't sure if she was ready for this life altering decision.
